Definitions

  • the invention concerns a printed antenna fed by a patch. More particularly, it refers to a printed antenna with two polarisations and an array of these antennas.
  • Printed antennas are light and take up little space. They can be produced in large series, so they are cheap. They are used for various purposes, such as for TV reception by satellite (receiving antenna), for telecommunications (sending/receiving antennas), for application on board of objects such as satellites, aircraft or rockets, and for portable equipment such as a small portable radar or radio probe.
  • a printed antenna consists usually of a stack of layers.
  • the top layer is a radiating layer.
  • the radiating layer includes one or more radiating elements. These radiating elements may be conductive patches, usually square, rectangular or circular in shape.
  • a ground plane is generally used, placed beneath the radiating layer insulated from it by means of one or more dielectric layers. The ground plane serves as a mirror to limit the radiation to the space located in front of it.
  • the dielectric layer may be air or a substrate, such as foam. Such an antenna is disclosed in US 5,745,080.
  • a radiating patch can be fed in various ways. The most commonly used are :
  • micro-strip line feed and the coaxial line feed possess inherent asymmetries generating higher order modes that produce cross-polarized radiation.
  • the micro-strip line coupling may be symmetrical, as for example described in US 4,464,663, but this results in losses; also, assembly is more expensive, and layout problems arise, especially with array antennas.
  • the feed assembly is complex and expensive because the feed lines must be insulated from each other at the points where they cross.
  • An antenna of this kind is described, for example, in patent application US 5,448,250.
  • the feed lines are insulated at the places where they cross with the aid of insulating bridges.
  • a structure of this kind does not lie on one plane; it is not symmetrical and it is complex and expensive.
  • parasitic coupling can arise at the point where two lines cross.
  • the purpose of the invention is in particular to deal with these objections in the state of the art. More accurately, the purpose of the invention is to provide a printed antenna with the radiating element fed in an effective way without parasitic radiation being excited in consequence, but with a large bandwidth.
  • the antenna according to the invention is equipped with:
  • the vertical projection of the radiating opening is substantially surrounded by the feed patch.
  • the antenna further includes:
  • the invention also concerns the design of antennas with two polarisation directions.
  • the feed patch being substantially symmetrical about an axis
  • two feed lines are connected to said patch symmetrically about said axis, these lines being intended to be fed simultaneously in phase or in counter phase in order to produce two polarisations.
  • the feed patch is substantially square in design and the two feed lines are connected to two consecutive sides. This enables two linear polarisation directions at right angles to each other with high polarisation purity.
  • the feed lines are, according to a preferred embodiment, linked to a magic T, where the sum and differential inputs to the magic T form the inputs, independently for each polarisation. In this way, the insulation between the two corresponding inputs can be improved for the two polarisation directions.
  • the magic T is preferably of the rat-race type.
  • the invention also refers to the design of antenna arrays, which contain at least two antennas as defined above, fitted with all or part of the favourable variants.
  • the antenna array includes a feed network printed on the surface of the feed patches.
  • the antenna array includes a feed network printed on a surface other than the surface on which the feed patches are placed, insulated from the latter surface by a dielectric layer, a ground plane and another dielectric layer, placed on the other side of the ground plane, and linked to the surface of the feed patches by vertical connections through the ground plane and dielectric layers.
  • the vertical connections are here preferably of screened design.
  • the main advantage of the invention is that it is simply achieved, that it is modular and that it is relatively cheap.
  • the printed antenna according to the invention includes at least:
  • the radiating opening 4 may be an opening in ground plane 3 in the shape of a cross, formed by two slots 4a and 4b. These slots can have the same length and the same width and be set at right angles to each other, such that they intersect in their middle.
  • the slots may, for example, have a length of 44 mm and a width of 4 mm.
  • the radiating opening 4 is fed by a patch and not by lines, the creation of parasitic radiation and of a coupling between the lines is avoided.
  • the dimensions of the patch are selected in relation to the dimensions of opening 4. The bigger the selected feed patch 6, the lesser the parasitic radiation at its edges.
  • the vertical projection of the radiating opening 4 is selected such that it falls substantially within the feed patch 6.
  • the dimensions of the radiating opening 4 and on the feed patch 6 may be selected according to the frequency band used. It may be noted in this connection that the invention allows a wider wage band to be achieved with fully identical dimensions than under existing techniques.
  • the feed patch may, for example, be substantially square in shape.
  • the sides of this square may be placed in parallel to two orthogonal directions determined by the cross 4.
  • the centre points of square 6 and cross 4 may coincide here in the horizontal plane.
  • the square may for example have sides of 56mm.
  • the antenna will additionally preferentially include:
  • the second ground plane allows the antenna radiation to be reflected to the space above in order thereby to enlarge the yield from the antenna. It also provides protection between the feed patches and any layers underneath.
  • the dielectric layers 5 and 8 may consist of air or layers of substrate such as e.g. foam. Two layers of foam may, for example, be used 3mm thick and with a dielectric constant of 1.06.
  • the antenna will additionally preferentially include
  • the antenna as represented in figure 1 includes 7 layers, 4 conductive layers and 3 dielectric layers. From the top layer leading downwards one finds:
  • the radiating patch 1 is preferably substantially square in shape.
  • the dimensions of this patch correspond to a resonance frequency.
  • the vertical projection of the radiating opening is substantially surrounded by the feed patch.
  • One side of the radiating patch 1 is for example 48mm in length, and layer 2 consists e.g. of foam 10mm thick, with a dielectric constant of 1.06.
  • a number of radiating patches of the same type are preferentially stacked on patch 1 in order to increase the bandwidth.
  • the radiating patches are separated by layers of dielectric matter.
  • Feed patch 6 may be linked to two feed lines 7a and 7b.
  • the terminals P 1 and P 2 of the line 7a and 7b may form the feed points for the antenna.
  • These feed points P 1 , P 2 are linked for example to a connector (not shown) which is in turn linked to a coaxial cable.
  • the feed lines 7a and 7b are symmetrical in relation to a symmetrical axis A of the feed patch 6. They are fed simultaneously in order to produce the one or other polarisation.
  • E ⁇ polarisation of the electrical field
  • the surface flows represented by the unbroken lines are symmetrical to the axis A.
  • the polarisation produced is therefore parallel to the symmetrical axis A.
  • E ⁇ polarisation of the electrical field
  • the two feed points P 1 and P 2 may be used both to feed the two lines in phase and to feed the two lines in counter phase.
  • An initial polarisation E // can therefore be produced if the lines are fed in phase and a second polarisation E ⁇ if the lines are fed in counter phase. Thanks to this simultaneous feed, the supply to the antenna is symmetrical and high polarisation purity is obtained.
  • the feed lines 7a and 7b are preferably connected to two consecutive sides of the square forming the feed patch 6.
  • the symmetrical axis A in relation to which the feed lines are placed is a diagonal of the square.
  • the squares forming the feed patch 6 and the radiating patch 1 are rotated 45° to each other in the horizontal plane. In other words, the diagonals of the square forming the feed patch 6 run parallel to the sides of the radiating patch 1.
  • the dispersion matrix (also referred to as the redistribution matrix) allows the characteristics to be determined of the outgoing waves, emitted from the waves that enter the structure.
  • the dispersion matrix also referred to as the redistribution matrix
  • the dispersion matrix allows the characteristics to be determined of the outgoing waves, emitted from the waves that enter the structure.
  • e 1 and e 2 are the waves that enter at P 1 and P 2 .
  • s 1 and s 2 are the waves that leave P 1 and P 2 .
  • the dispersion matrix is symmetrical. In other words, the transmission coefficients between the two inputs are dependent on the direction, which is clear from the equality of the coefficients S 12 and S 21 .
  • the structure is symmetrical in relation to inputs P 1 and P 2 so that the coefficients S 11 and S 22 are equal.
  • the invention also refers to the design of antenna arrays consisting of at least two antennas as defined above. According to the state of the art, a problem of location arises when designing antenna arrays because the attempt must be made to prevent coupling between lines. This problem is still far more important for antennas with two polarisation directions. This comes down to complex solutions where little progress can be seen.
  • the antenna according to the invention allows this problem to be solved.
  • the array includes seven antennas of the type shown in figure 1. These antennas are printed on the same layers and are capitad up along a horizontal axis (not shown).
  • the feed patches may be linked by a feed network 10a, 10b printed on the same layer as the patches.
  • the feed lines 7a may be interlinked by a part 10a of the feed network.
  • the feed lines 7b may be similarly interlinked by the other part 10b of the feed network.
  • the feed network 10a, 10b as represented in figure 6 is a parallel feed network. It goes without saying that a serial feed network can also be applied.
  • the lines that form the feed network 10a, 10b are matched to all the connections (not shown in this diagram).
  • the lines of the feed network cause no parasitic radiation because they are separated from the radiating elements by the ground plane 5. Because one need no longer worry about parasitic radiation, the design of the feed network is simplified. In other words, in order to combine antennas in accordance with the invention into an antenna array, it is sufficient to add a feed network to the layer with e.g. the feed patches 6.
  • the areas according to the invention are therefore highly modular, which allows an antenna array to be designed simply and quickly while this design can simply evolve further.
  • a magic T can be simply added to the antenna structure represented in accordance with figure 1.
  • the top layers in figure 7 that contain the radiating patch 1 and the dielectric layer 2 are not shown.
  • the feed lines 7a and 7b are linked to the magic T 13.
  • Indices 1 and 2 correspond to the inputs usually referred to as the sum input and differential input. These inputs are used as new inputs P 1 ' and P 2 ' for the antenna.
  • the two other inputs (corresponding to indices 4 and 3) of the magic T are linked to the lines 7a and 7b that proceed to the feed patch 8, 6.
  • the patch is therefore fed simultaneously or in phase or in counter phase depending on whether the sum input or a differential input is used.
  • the magic T therefore allows a single feed to be used to obtain any polarisation.
  • the sum input P 1 ' and the differential input P 2 ' form two independent inputs for the various polarisation directions of the antenna.
  • Input P 1 ' corresponds to a parallel polarisation E//.
  • Input P 2 ' corresponds to a perpendicular polarisation E ⁇ .
  • the dispersion matrix corresponding to the antenna structure according to figure 1 can be used to determine the behaviour of the antenna together with the magic T.
  • the outgoing waves S' 3 and S' 4 of the magic T respectively become the incoming waves e 2 and e 1 of the antenna as represented in figure 1.
  • the outgoing waves s 2 and s 1 similarly become the incoming waves e' 3 and e' 4 of the magic T.
  • the magic T therefore transfers the leak between the inputs P 1 and P 2 into reflection losses.
  • the magic T allows the insulation between the two new inputs P 1 ' and P 2 ' to be improved. This is a favourable consequence of the symmetrical structure of the antenna according to the invention.
  • the magic T is preferably of the "rat-race" type and is formed by printed lines.
  • a line 14 may for example link the sum input on the magic T to a connector, and a line 15 may for example link the input on the magic T to another connector.
  • a line 16b may connect the input corresponding to index 3 on the magic T with the line 7b.
  • a line 16a may link the input corresponding to index 4 on the magic T with the line 7a.
  • the magic T 13 represented in figure 7 is placed on a different level from the level for the feed patch 8. As will be seen below, this is done in order to simplify the assembly of the antenna.
  • the magic T can of course be placed on the same level as the patch if there is sufficient space.
  • the magic T is placed beneath the ground plane 9.
  • a dielectric level 11 insulates it from the latter.
  • Two vertical connections formed by conducting paths 18a and 18b run through the dielectric layers 8, 11 and the ground plane 9.
  • the connection 18a links the line 7a to line 18a on the one hand and the connection 18b links the line 7b with the line 16b on the other hand.
  • the antenna in this example includes 11 layers, of which 6 are conductive and 5 are dielectric layers. Proceeding from the top layer downwards we find:
  • the vertical connections 18a and 18b are screened. They can be screened by combinations 19a and 19b of vertical paths fitted round the connections 18a and 18b. These conductive paths may be connected to the ground plane 11.
  • the ground plane 11 includes two openings 11 a and 11 b so that the paths 18a and 18b can pass without entering into contact with the said ground plane.
  • the amplitude curve S 12 ' lies lower than -20 dB in the 9 - 11.25 GHz wave band.
  • the insulation between the inputs has been substantially improved.
  • the reflections are less than -10 dB in an almost identical waveband.

  • the other part 20b of this feed network allows the differential inputs to be grouped, so that a second input 21 b is obtained.
